    what remains exceeds[To find how much something exceeds you subtract] 17 - f*12 -

    one-third of seventeen

    17 - f*12 - 1/3 * 17 by six. 17 - f*12 - 1/3 * 17 = 6

    17 - 12f - 17/3=6

    Multiply through by 3 to avoid fractions: 51 - 36f - 17 = 18 34 - 36f = 18 - 36f = - 16

    f=-13/-36

    simplify: f = 4/9
